Re: [wlug] Installing Skype on Ubuntu [Rant]

Here's why I'm a bit frustrated at the moment with Ubuntu:

Perhaps you should be frustrated with Skype for not making their code more portable. I downloaded the gizmo packages which are supposed to be for Debian and had no trouble installing them into Ubuntu. Gizmo is a VoIP program quite similar to Skype, but based on the SIP protocol (open standard) and from what I've been hearing it has more features and better audio quality than Skype anyhow. Perhaps you should give Gizmo a try?
